"High School Musical" Is Getting a TV Show

Hey Wildcats, listen up! The moment you've been waiting for for more than a decade has finally arrived. No, we're not getting a fourth High School Musical movie — even though original star Monique Coleman recently said she would be so down for that — instead, the students of East High School will reportedly soon see their legacy and stories continue with a brand-new TV series.

The news of the new show comes nearly 10 years after the third and final HSM film was released. According to Variety, the series will premiere not on the Disney Channel, like the first two films did (the third had a big-budget theatrical release), but on Disney's streaming service, which should be available for Disney lovers and HSM devotees by 2019. The show, which is sure to feature plenty of drama-club drama and basketball intrigue, will be joined by a few other shows reportedly premiering on the streaming service that will also be based on existing properties, including a Star Wars show and a Monsters Inc. series, according to Variety. The streaming service will be available for a monthly fee, and Bob Iger, chairman and CEO at Disney, has reportedly told fans to expect a price "substantially below" what Netflix costs them.

Though the movie that introduced the world to the Wildcats came out more than 10 years ago, the fan (and celebrity) love is still going strong. The Stranger Things cast recently admitted their own continued affection for HSM: Not only did it inspire a viewing party of the first film on Halloween, but it also led Finn Wolfhard to follow in Troy Bolton's footsteps and give basketball a try. And in a video for Vogue, Troy Bolton himself (aka Zac Efron) revealed that "the finale [of High School Musical], when the curtains close, tears me up." Same, Zac, same!
